Raids are NOT NEARLY as fun as they once were...
AAT is basically a split between those with BB8 and those who don't have BB8. The ones with him are top of damage and compete with eachother for top spots, the ones without BB8 have to sit there and wait until they can get him.
Rancor is an even greater mess. If you have CLS then rancor becomes a joke. 20 solos each raid, you are lucky if you solo and still make it to the top 10, top 3 is a lottery draw...
The feeling of getting less guild coins and gear than someone else who soloed is certainly awful and unfair.
Lastly to adress those who will say "if you want to have fun then try new squads and stuff". Let me tell you that I need gear more than ever, i won't settle for anything less than maximum damage
Raids need to adapt to the game. They are severely underbalanced and forgotten

BB8 can make things faster, but not to a point of being unfair. Easy to too charts w/out him.
Lmao, that's sooooo horrible. It becomes even more of a lottery. What if you are 50th? At least when there no restrictions those who show up get rewarded more than those who are lazy
Resistance can't solo p2, min3 are all g11 and they cant. You need insane mods. Also gearing clones is an additional full squad, too much gear needed
You mean "the money"?
He's a single character, he shouldn't be that powerful
But I get what you're saying, cadwane. In rancor raids, it really is a lottery and for HAAT, those without a BB8 are just watching themselves get pushed lower. As with all raids though, I think new content was always meant to make the raids easier so that people can progress to focus on the fresh game modes they introduce.
After that, how your guild wants to run the raids is entirely up to your guild's discretion.
For example, my old guild used to do a single toon tag for 3 guys and they had to deal 15k, 10k and 5k damage respectively to be placed top 3. So when FFA drops and they solo, they will be placed top 3. And then for the next raid, they won't get top 3.
That isn't bad actually
Others put time and effort into getting bb8 but you want to get the same benefit as them.
Perhaps I should have been selfish and postpone HRS and CHS like others did and fo FOST instead but don't judge me without knowing.
Or what about new raid tiers? No tm removal on rancor for example?
Ship raids would be a problem cause it's hard to get 7 star ships. But i do want a new raid
I wouldn't call it unfair as such either but it does split the guild in two for those with and without and I don't fully agree with the "further along" part.
I can spend ages farming tusken shaman, zader, zidious, phasma, Boba (previously one of best P2 team) to add 2m or 3m max in P2. I could spend same or less effort getting toons for BB-8 and add 20m+. That isn't further along, it is a lottery on a new toon coming up. I have 50% more GP than some in guild so total roster is way further along, can't even get close just as they had farmed FO and I had farmed something else.
To be honest, don't care so much, all but top 3 get same GK shards anyway and other stuff is random. BB-8 though has caused substantial effort being essentially completely wasted (shaman is not much use for anything else and is a pain to get).
Bigger issue though is that it was fun and helped guild participation with organising people to try and get phase specific squads, a guild working together. zavage/zylo for this, resistance for that, clones here etc. That is completely out the window and is now, you guys post stuff wherever then one or two of us will kill the rest. The guild dynamics stuff never really came into rancor but it did with HAAT so ignoring rewards it has just taken some of the fun out of things.
